TeeJay Lee
TeeJay is an Angel City Sports athlete of 9 years and first heard about Angel City Sports (ACS) from the Angel City Games in 2015. He acquired his disability in 2003, but realized years later that he hadn’t yet taken active control of his health.
Through Angel City Sports he saw the array of sports he could try and then see what
piqued his interest. Since then, TeeJay has been a supporter and active
participant in the clinics and annual Games.
“Sports is a great way to connect with others, push yourself, and take
control of your health. Anything can be hard to tackle individually when you
have a disability, but you learn you can tackle them with a community and while
just playing sport.”
“I get to meet good people within the community that I get to call my friends.
And it’s an added bonus to see the younger generations grow and find their
place in our world!”
When you ask TeeJay what ACS means to him, he says “self-growth.” And if you
have meet TeeJay, you know and see that he loves trying new things, he always
wants to be better, and he is so supportive of his fellow ACS athletes,
encouraging them to do the same and he’ll be right beside you.
And proof of TeeJay’s commitment to trying new things and growing is in one of his
2024 goals.
“Starting this year, I plan on doing a race every month from January to April.”
“In doing these races, I will be re-gaining control of my health and body while
trying to encourage others to join me. ACS and the Pasadena Tri Teams have
played a part by supporting my entry in the Pasadena Triathlon in March.”
